Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the evacuation of some West Bank settler outposts considered illegal under Israeli law, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Sunday.

“To my knowledge, Netanyahu has given the instruction to evacuate” certain settlements, Smotrich said. He added that he did not approve of the measure.
